The weight of the new M2 in it's lightest configuration will be my deciding factor. If the car comes in over 3300 lbs in the least optioned configuration I'm out. If Porsche comes out with the new 718 two seat roadster with 286/295 (HP/TQ) in 2016 weighing less than 2650 lbs for under $50K buy in, and the M2 doesn't match it in performance power-to-weight ratio then I will have to go with the better price/performance sports car.
I consider the torque number the more sporting number than the horsepower.
